Access and Inclusion

ECU provides a free, confidential service to support participation and success in study for students who live with a permanent or temporary disability, medical condition, mental health condition, or who are the primary carer for a family member with a disability or medical condition.

We support students with neurodivergence and those impacted by other circumstances, including cultural or religious practices and family and domestic violence.

We can help with:

  • identifying and implementing academic adjustments via a Learning Access Plan (LAP)
  • liaison with academic staff about any potential barriers you may face and any reasonable adjustments that may be required
  • alternative assessment and examination conditions
  • alternative format study materials
  • access to a range of assistive equipment, software and technology
  • provision of note-takers, captions or Auslan interpreters

What is a Learning Access Plan (LAP)?

A Learning Access Plan (LAP) is developed in partnership with an Accessibility Adviser. Your plan is tailored to you, supports your needs and establishes how ECU can provide assistance for you to access and participate in your studies.

Your LAP will outline reasonable adjustments that you require to undertake your studies, based on the evidence you provide as well as your report of how your disability impacts you. The LAP also provides an opportunity for you to share information about your disability or circumstances with academic staff, should you wish.

Additional services and resources

In addition to individual Learning Access Plans, Access and Inclusion offer a range of programs and resources for students, including tailored workshops, specialist mentoring, neuro-divergent TEAMs channel and sensory spaces.

FAQs

We have a number of FAQ pages with further information about the Access and Inclusion service and/or Learning Access Plans.
